Pinkalicious loves the color pink, but all the girls at school like black. They tease her, saying that pink stinks and pink is for babies. But Pinkalicious doesn't think so - that is, until her friends stop playing with her. Now Pinkalicious has a case of the blues. But could she ever turn her back on her favorite color?

In the follow-up to the bestselling Pinkalicious, a young girl remains true to herself and discovers that pink isn't only a pretty color, but also a powerful one.

I usually love the Pinkalicious books, but this one seems so negative. The girls who only wear black make fun of Pinkalicious who loves pink. She gets sadder and sadder thru the book until she meets a girl who likes purple. It ends rather abruptly. It's just ok, but the others are so much better.

My daughter and I went to see Pinkalicious and we really enjoyed it so I got her a book for Easter.

If you're not familiar with the story, Pinkalicious and her family love the color pink. In this installment, Pinkalicious is facing unpopularity as everyone is saying the color pink is out and black is in.

Pinkalicious struggles with her love of pink yet wanting to be accepted. In the end, she learns it's ok to like pink.

I enjoyed this book. The illustrations are colorful. The length of the story is perfect for my 4 year old. I like that there is meaning in the story. I would recommend this book.

I recently read Purplicious to my daughter...and she loved the story...as I was reading "I am who I am and I like pink." my daughter responded, "I like pink too." As I read the remaining days...my daughter had a response for each of the days. "No, it's not lonely." "Yes, it has purpose." Being teased, is not an easy thing to accept, so how can you expect to turn the page and find resolution. There is the progression, being teased, looking at yourself, possibly questioning, reacting, and then "I am, who I am!" My daughter and I both enjoyed the book.

I love this series. This book especially shows girls (and boys) how to be true to themselves. Pinkalicious was getting picked on in this story because she liked the color pink and the rest of the girls in her class did not, they liked black. they teased her and told her pink was for babies, at first pinkalicious stood her ground and told the girls that her brother even liked pink. this story shows the mom and dad and brother helping pinkalcious to feel better, etc and then she discovers a friend in art c lass that loves pink to and shows her why. its a great book for kids to read or be read to. especially ones in school!

Don't waste your money.Unlike the Pinkalicious, this book has a very negative tone that I don't recommend to young children.This book is about how everybody thinks the new color is black ,except Pinkalicious and that no one wants to play with her because she is the only one who likes pink. And Pinkalicious finally meets a girl who thinks pink is perfect because you can make the color purple out of mixing pink with blue. The author tried to make the last 2 pages positive but, too much negativity outweighed the positive in this case.

After reading all the negative reviews, I really did not want to buy this book for my then 4.5 year old daughter. However, she got Gramma to read it to her in the bookstore and begged me to buy it for her. I refused. Flash forward a year and a half later and guess what? my sweet 6 year old has encountered some very mean older girls who have told her that they "hate pink" and that "pink is for babies." (She still adores pink!) It's hard for some children to be accepted and with all the pressure on little girls to grow up and dress like little women, wear make up and be cool, it's refreshing to see a message that says it's okay to love pink and be yourself.

I get that this may not apply to very little kids and hopefully most people who reviewed this book with one star and threw it away won't need to get another copy to comfort their child like I did. I wish bullying did not exist, but it does. Kids can be very cruel. Be open to talking about peer pressure and bullying with your kids. This book opens the door for that when you feel they are ready.

P.S. My son who is 10 says he likes the book for the message it sends.
